money money money
i dislike to think abt money issues esp when i am cash-strapped. oh yes I am now. resources are depleting. long story.sometimes i really wonder where did i spend my money on especially when i calculate the purchases i made for the whole month. it's like when pay comes in, i will have xxxx figure, but then slowly it will be depleted! *sighz* I am really believing in Him for financial breakthroughs. was praying the other night, telling Him that I do not care how and when He does it, but I am trusting Him for one. you know, sometimes my faith level just falls to a very very low level when i look at the natural. Bills to pay,personal expenses,transport,food, entertainment, etc etc. it gets really frustrating when the devil just put thoughts in your head such as, " see, so and so graduated the same time as you, yet he/she is earning more etc etc" or "look at yourself! where are you now?? what's the pt of being a graduate?" seriously, time and time again, i just broke down when i look at present circumstances.many of us dreamed of earning the first million asap, to own this and that. esp in this rat-race world, it ain't easy not to be influenced by practicality and materialism. once, pastor prince said, " do not be the rat in the rat race." that got me thinking hard,real hard.
many of us is familar with this phrase, "money is the root of evil" . is it so? my perspective is that money is not the root of eveil, BUT the motives behind the use of money can lead to it becoming the root of evil.

Jia...At the way you might be heading, sooner or later...U will not be only be lost with yourself, but also your family, relatives and friends... Like I have said sth similar earlier in your other blog posts... HE may lead you on the path... But it's ultimately you decide on the concequences on each step you take... Doesnt matter how things go, if certain things or thoughts you cant let go... U'll never get that "burden" out of you...
PS: I'm not trying to be a philosophical saint here, nor am I trying to criticize u... If u still have faith in your blunt-mouth friend here(me, that is) - Be true to yourself, just be.
